They are not burnt yet. The position has been open for less than an hour. Let's see what the price is at close. They may well close over the weekend. Leveraged players often don't hold over the weekend, too risky, some idiot somewhere may declare war on a country it thinks it can bully. It's a weird world!

To recap; A trader borrows shares from a broker, sells them at the current market price, and aims to buy them back later at a lower price,

Yep, they borrowed them and then sold them. That's shortening for you. They didn't even own the shares they sold.

"Someone sold 1.5m shares this morning at 0.675. Why bother? "

Thats how shorting works Montmuzard

Shorting the market (short selling) is a trading strategy used to profit from a decline in an asset's price. A trader borrows shares from a broker, sells them at the current market price, and aims to buy them back later at a lower price, returning the shares to the broker and pocketing the difference

Yes, I agree Montmuzard, thats what happens as fools rush in. Leave it to the pros, the leveraged CFD players and the spread betters.

Shorts now opening on wecap...down 15% on aquis

That's what the weshop rise was. It was and is still being massively shortened. More to close today.

Easy money for the pros. Who wouldn't short a share that opened at $250 and is now $14

$250 was a complete and utter joke, weshop was never ever worth that.

Pure market manipulation.

Shame that SLE had to leave the party early.

Iii don't let you buy illiquid high-risk shares. Nanny state! Try HL instead.

Slacker246, "A couple of tubes of helium...."

Remember when you were born you had no teeth, then you had a few, then one day your mouth was full of them?

Helium One Global has posted unaudited interim results for the six months to 31 December 2025, and it is a milestone update on two fronts: commercial momentum in the USA and regulatory green lights in Tanzania. The period cements the transition from pure explorer to early-stage producer, with commissioning underway in Colorado and a Mining Licence awarded at the flagship southern Rukwa Helium Project.

First gas achieved on 22 December 2025 at the Galactica-Pegasus project in Colorado (50% working interest; operated by Blue Star Helium).

Award of a 480 km² Mining Licence at southern Rukwa – the first ever helium ML in Tanzania.

Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) operations commenced at ITW-1, with post-period test results confirming strong flow performance and high helium grades. Raised approximately £8.1 million net to fund progress across both projects.

The southern Rukwa Helium Project now has a formally awarded Mining Licence – a first for helium in Tanzania and one of the largest mining licences in the country. In plain English: this provides the regulatory certainty to move from exploration into development planning.

This is the safest AIM investment so far this year.

Absolutely de-risked now, and the near-future plans are fully funded.

No Brainer!

All of that makes Gold a far more valuable defensive investment SM. Thanks for pointing that out.

Who knows? But it's not an impossibility.

.The man is dressed impeccably; he is wearing the "suit" of his profession.

The point of this thread is disruption, to draw attention away from the real meaning behind the photograph;

Our man is about to enter the highest office in the country.

He may look like a tourist, but he certainly isn't.

Twink, this sounds a little contradictory to what you imply.

A statement from ALRT 5 months ago.

"Today, Defence Holdings PLC announces its second classified AI product build under Defence Technologies.

Following the launch of Project Ixian in September, which addressed information operations, our next build is focused on Edge Analysis & Decision Support, one of the highest-priority requirements for UK and allied forces.

In simple terms, “the edge” is where data is captured and decisions must be made in real time: in the field, often in austere or disconnected conditions. Our software extends the value of existing hardware by moving processing onto secure edge devices, fusing multiple sensor inputs, and synchronising decision-ready outputs back to headquarters.

This capability improves identification confidence, accelerates decision cycles, and reduces operational risk, helping UK and allied forces act faster, with greater clarity, and with sovereignty over their data.

It is the first classified build announced since Field Marshal Lord Houghton was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman, and it directly aligns with SDR25 and NATO priorities, where sovereign digital capability and interoperability are front and centre.

Two classified builds in two months. From information operations to edge decision support, we are showing how sovereign AI can be conceived, built and aligned to live defence priorities at speed".

Twink, I am wondering what difference it makes if "ALRT is simply a networking business". All that matters is that it becomes a successful business and generates a good return for its shareholders. Rough n Ready is highly incentivised to perform, not by wage but by share price.

probably having a week off, johnlay****. i would.

With you all the way daltry, de-risking is the way to go. More sleep, less worry.

Greed is the downfall of man.

I can open an account with HL, but then I wouldn't be able to trade. What a joke. I wonder how many millions are lost this morning by HL clients.
